Djelebas and Tkchita Kaftans

Above you can see an example of a Tkchita, this is a special dress for special occasions, weddings etc, usually very ornate and worn with a thick tight belt round the middle. All Moroccans have a Tkchita.

Sana wanted to show you examples of Moroccan dress. The photo above is a Djeleba worn by women and men over their clothes. They come in all sorts of beautiful colours and the embroidery and thread work on them is stunning. The women's hoods often have a tassel whereas the men's Djelebas are more simple but still stunning, especially in winter when they all look very smart in gorgeous colours.
